The Danny Bilson Interview on Shacknews talks with Danny Bilson, THQ's core games boss, who discusses various aspects of the industry (thanks joao). One topic of particular interest is choosing between Games for Windows LIVE and Steamworks for back-end support, as Relic has vacillated between the two services for the Dawn of War series. From Bilson's comments, in spite of a general preference for Steam expressed by most gamers (not to mention himself), this situation remains up in the air:

It's been easier for development [moving to Steamworks], so far, but Microsoft is really talking to me a lot about getting back on Games for Windows Live. So, it's not something I want to comment on because there are a lot of discussions going on about that right now. I like both platforms and I really, really, really like Microsoft as a partner. They're fantastic partners. I want to respect them.

There are a lot of discussions going on about that now because it's a sensitive issue. But from a development point of view, it has been easier on Steamworks. That has nothing to do with Steam as a distribution platform, as you know. The developers really like it, but again, I have incredible respect for Microsoft and they're really fantastic partners. And so, there's a lot of ongoing discussion about that.

I will tell you Microsoft are made up of THE most moronic fucking dumbshits this side of fucktardsville.

I downed the game using GFWL service(required)i went into settings to make sure the game went to my E: drive due to my C: drive being a 64gb SSD which houses Win7x64 atm with little to no room left on the drive.

Well..GFWL REQUIRES the game install to the C: no matter if you pointed it to another drive or not.

IT'S REQUIRED IN ORDER TO INSTALL THE GAME.

Therefore i cannot install Fear 2 from GFWL because i do not have the disk space on my C: drive. I have 2 other terabyte drives with plenty of room but hell no. Thank You Microsoft!

I have an E: Folder full of Fear 2 cab files i don't know what to do with..
